We're out here in Turkey, a new stop on the UCI BMX SX World Cup circuit. It's always nice to go to new places but it also brings new challenges. New track, new hotel, new people, translation issues, drinking issues, stray dogs and cats, mobile camper toilets, the list is long and the adventure is on.
Four UCI BMX World Cup rounds are on the program for the next two weekends. Rounds 5&6 now, Rounds 7&8 next weekend (30/31 October) and the title chase is wide open. Basically half of the season will be taken care of in 10 days so if you are in shape now and can put it together, chances are you're up there at the end of the road.
The leader plates are in the hands of Arthur Pilard (Elite Men), Mariana Pajon (Elite Women), Asuma Nakai (U23 Men) and also Thalya Burford (U23 Women) so they carry the best papers at the moment but things can change quickly.
For those not wanting to miss anything, we've got the live feed on FATBMX.com so tune in and follow the racing. We'll keep you posted on ourd FATBMX social media channels and here also on the website as you're used from us. It's BMX after all.

Niek Kimmann is a professional BMX racer, three-time World Champion, and a gold medalist Olympian. His accomplishments follow a lifelong journey of BMX racing. He shared his story with Box on what his BMX career was all about. Kimmann grew up in a small village called Lutten, located in the Netherlands and lived there for 15 years. His parents were influential, athletic and enjoyed the outdoors. His mother was a horseback rider, and his father was an ice skater. When he was younger, he spent two hours a week trying out different sports such as track and field, football, and others, but none of these called out to him. It wasn't until his friends introduced him to BMX that he found his passion instantly. His first experience riding at his local BMX track was what he would call "love at first sight."

As he continued to race, he would frequent the Dedemsvaart track near his hometown for an hour every Tuesday and Thursday. He was mentored by the track's coach amongst other kids. "I was lucky to have a good coach at my track, the help they gave me,
